Figure 1. PCR Charging Rack and Power Supply CR24.
The PCR Charging Rack is used in the On Site Paging System and in the Personal Security
System. It charges the a51 Alarm Transmitter.
The PCR Charging Rack is a modular system with three module parts; the Charging Rack
Master PCR-M module, the Charging Rack Extension PCR-E module and the Power Supply
CR24 module. Each Charging Rack (both Master PCR-M and Extension PCR-E) charges six
portables.
IMPORTANT: Power Supply CR24 is the only power supply that can be used together
with the PCR Charging Rack.
PCR Charging Rack Power Supply CR24
Supply voltage: 5 V 5V 12A max
Current consumption
(normal operation)
100 mA (Master PCR-M)

Max current consumption: 4A (fuse) 4 A per PCR
Max output current: 12A
Note: A label of the power rating, rated voltage and rated current is attached on the
metal shield cover of the power supply.

2 Safety Instructions
For safe and efficient operation, observe the guidelines given in this manual and all
necessary safety precautions. Follow the operating instructions and adhere to all warnings
and safety precautions located on the product and this Installation Guide.
The Power Supply module connects to 100 - 250 V AC. Therefore extra caution should be
taken during operation.
IMPORTANT: Power Supply CR24 is the only power supply that can be used together
with the PCR Charging Rack.
• For safety the covers must always be mounted during operation.
• The voltage safety cover in the Power Supply module has to be mounted on top of the
voltage connector to prevent hazardous situations like electric shock.
• Ensure that the Power Supply is grounded after installation by measuring between the
power supplies metal shield cover and an external ground. The Power Supply unit can
otherwise be live.
• When working with the units the mains power supply cable must always be
disconnected. Note the following:
- for PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible disconnect device
shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring
- for PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible
The disconnect device shall disconnect both poles simultaneously.
• For continued protection against risk of fire only replace the fuse in the Charging Rack
with the same type and rating of fuse (4A ATAB Art. No. 210265).
• Every installation must at least consist of one Power Supply CR24 and one Charging
Rack Master PCR-M.
If the ambient temperature is 25 °C or lower the Power Supply CR24 can supply up to
three Charging Racks (Master PCR-M and Extension PCR-E).
If the ambient temperature is higher than 25 °C the Power Supply CR24 can supply up
to two Charging Racks (Master PCR-M and Extension PCR-E).
One Master PCR-M can support up to 20 Extensions PCR-E.
• Suomi: Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan.
• Norge: Apparatet må tillkoples jordet stikkontakt.
• Sverige: Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag.

3 Installation
• The units should be placed in a dry environment with a temperature range of
0 to +40º C.
• Avoid mounting the Charging Rack where the coverage is not sufficient. This can
reduce the messaging capacity.
• The PCR Charging Rack module must be mounted according to the label. See figure 6
on page 7.
• The units should be mounted on concrete or plaster walls only.
Delivery includes:
One Inlet accessory kit including;
• Cable supports and screws
• Rectangular assembly covers
• Clips (only used for Power Supply module)
A modular cable is included in the delivery of Extension PCR-E for connection to or from
another Extension PCR-E or Master PCR-M.
Required tools and material:
• Three-wired cable for the mains power with diameter 4-8.5 mm. Make sure that the
used cable is grounded and approved for the current and voltage in question.
• Screwdrivers
• Cutting pliers
• Multimeter
• Screws and wall plugs for wall mounting. Make sure the screws and wall plugs are
correct for the type of wall used. See example below.
Wall material Wall plug Screw diameter
Single plasterboard Thorsman TP1 3.5-5 mm
Double plasterboard Thorsman TP2 3.5-5 mm
Concrete Thorsman TP2 3.5-5 mm

3.1 Charging Rack Master PCR-M and Extension PCR-E
Every installation must at least consist of one Power Supply CR24 and one Charging Rack
Master PCR-M. If the ambient temperature is 25 degrees C or lower the Power Supply
CR24 can supply up to three Charging Racks (Master PCR-M and Extension PCR-E). If the
ambient temperature is higher than 25 degrees C the Power Supply CR24 can supply up
to two Charging Racks (Master PCR-M and Extension PCR-E).One Master PCR-M can
support up to 20 Extensions PCR-E.
The Charging Racks are connected (see 6 Connection of Charging Rack Master PCR-M and
Extension PCR-E on page 19) with the modular cable (delivered with the Extension PCR-E).

The Power Supply module can also be placed apart from the Charging Rack modules.
Tip: When you are planning the location of the modules, start to mount them in a height
that makes it easy to reach the portables.

For wall fitting, preparation can be done in two ways:
• Measure and mark out the drill holes by using the dimensions in figure 6. Drill and
fasten the modules on the wall with three screws.
or
• Remove the covers, see 3.6 Removing Covers on page 8 and mount together some of
the modules, see 3.6.3 Mounting Modules Together on page 10. Hold the mounted
modules up against the wall and mark the location of the drill holes. Drill and fasten
the modules on the wall with three screws.
Note: The placing of the holes in the Power Supply module differ from the holes in the
Charging Rack module.
